Key Responsibilities

Seat Capacity Planning & Forecast Alignment

  • Own the front-end analysis of seat requirements based on WFM forecasts and headcount plans.
  • Determine seat ratios and sharing models (hotel, condo, exclusive 1:1) based on program type and schedule efficiency.
  • Partner with WFM to model seat needs accounting for shrinkage, WFH/WFO mix, and forecast accuracy.
  • Apply standardized seat ratio governance across all sites and ensure consistency of assumptions globally.

Occupancy & Utilization Analytics

  • Maintain a consolidated seat inventory in partnership with Facilities.
  • Lead reporting on occupancy tracking (% of facilities assigned) and utilization tracking (% of assigned seats used).
  • Identify opportunities to improve seat usage efficiency and optimize ratios.
  • Deliver regular analytics dashboards showing seat shortfalls, surpluses, and forecasted utilization trends.

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Partner with Facilities to align capacity plans with actual site layouts and seating constraints.
  • Collaborate with Operations to triage seat deficits and recommend WFH, reassignment, or expansion strategies.
  • Support IT in readiness for moves, new seat setups, and hybrid work configurations.
  • Engage with Client Success and Strategic Accounts to align footprint planning with client-specific requirements.

Deficit Management & Governance

  • Lead the cross-functional review of seat shortages with WFM, Operations, and Facilities.
  • Coordinate mitigation strategies such as WFH deployment, strategic account moves, or facility expansion requests.
  • Track and report all seat deficit resolutions and measure time-to-closure.
  • Establish governance cadences for seat capacity reviews globally.

Qualifications & Experience

  • 5+ years of experience in Workforce Planning, Capacity Management, Facilities Planning, or related field.
  • Strong analytical background with advanced Excel and BI tool skills (Power BI, Tableau preferred).
  • Proven success in seat or space utilization management in a multi-site or BPO environment.
  • Understanding of WFM forecasting models, occupancy planning, and hybrid workforce management.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across Facilities, IT, and Operations.
  • Ability to present findings to executive leadership and influence data-driven decision.
